2025-2026 NBA SEASON DISCUSSION

this year they just needed a 40 yo Lebron

 

[Charania] Just in: San Antonio Spurs forward Julian Champagnie intends to sign a new three-year, $45 million contract with the franchise through 2028-29, sources tell ESPN. The Spurs declined Champagnie’s $3 million team option to give him a new deal.

[Charania] Just in: Free agent guard Landry Shamet intends to sign a new four-year, $24 million deal to return to the New York Knicks, sources tell ESPN.

[Charania] The Oklahoma City Thunder are picking up forward Lu Dort's $17.7 million team option for the 2026-27 season, sources tell ESPN.

 

For a player like Shamet, this is the jackpot.

Congrats to him.

 

[Charania]: Free agent center Jusuf Nurkic intends to sign a two-year, $22 million contract to return to the Utah Jazz, sources tell ESPN. Nurkic thrived in coach Will Hardy's system and was excited about the Jazz new look roster. Utah officials worked through the deal with Klutch Sports CEO Rich

 

What's Duren's logic here?

The Kings don't have the cap space to sign him outright and the Pistons don't have to take whatever bad contract the Kings want to give up.

 

Sabonis is a bad contract I thought about.

 

This is another guy the Rockets should go after.

 

You think the Rockets have max space for Jalen Duren???

 

PAYING to dump a lottery pick you made 2 years ago is WILD. Now that's bad management.

 

And Rockets are standing pat.



They are as inept at improving this team as Austin Powers is at Blackjack.
